INDIANAPOLIS -- A New York Jets fan from Brick was Tasered, arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and public intoxication prior to Sunday's NFL Championship game here, according to a report in The New York Post.

The report said Patrick Mallon, 26 and sporting a throwback Wesley Walker Jet jersey, was bantering with Indianapolis Colts fan in the parking lot when police officers who were moving traffic along said he threw beer at opposing fans. Eight hours later, the report said, Mallon paid a $150 fine and was released.
